Without knowing all the details, it kind of sounds to me like instead of mentoring you he is playing out a kind of dom-like scenario where he wants you to find a domme (I would assume to play with...if it is to be a mentoring thing, a female sub would be better in some ways, since she shares your orientation, though there are dommes on here who would be wonderful mentors). I am leery of long distance and online relationships personally, and I kind of wonder if the guy is getting off on telling you to find a woman to be sub to. Given how big a fantasy women/women interactions are to many guys, it kind of raised bells to me. I don't know where you live, but my experience is it is better to try and find people locally, especially if there are any groups, in general people tend to help newcomers, and help them understand what they need. If you are straight, for example, it wouldn't make sense to find a domme....but in any event, I agree, find a better mentor, what the guy told you doesn't seem to ring true, unless I am missing something. The 'contrast and learn' doesn't make any sense to me, he is basically telling you to find a domme as some sort of learning experience, but if that isn't how you are wired, it probably won't teach you much. While IME dommes and doms play very differently, there are differences, unless you particularly have curiosity about playing with a dominant female, that makes no sense, even less than people who say the only way to be a good dominant is to sub first (That at least I could see working for some people...).
